Running Out Of Options! *opinions Appreciated*

[Spurdo]

yea best way is to keep it simple, make a plan and stick to it. bang for buck value definately go rb25det with an uncut loom & ecu and swap the sump over, get a nistune or something.

i myself find it hard to trust a 2nd hand engine too but i've seen so many second hand rb25det's go into r32s without any issues i'd seriously consider it now. just make sure you get one from a reputable seller and it comes with some sort of warranty, there are heaps of bone stock standard rb25s coming out of japan these days that just dont seem to have had a very hard life judging by how clean they are and how well they still perform.

generally u will have no way of verifying the history of the engine , so get the cambelt, waterpump, idlers etc done while the engines out of the car just for the peace of mind.
